H631 prohibits local governments, health officers or the state from mandating facemasks, face shields, or any other face coverings for the purpose of the prevention the spread of a contagious illness or disease.
The Idaho State House of Representatives passed H631 on February 21, 2022 by a vote of 46 to 24. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because individuals have the right to decide what is best for their health and their safety. The government has no right to force someone to implement these draconian orders. This is a violation of an individual’s fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights.
